For Sale FS Hasselblad 553ELX with waist level finder

[Simon Benton]

Selling my Hasselblad 553ELX with waist level finder. Camera is in good condition and all functions work as they are supposed to. Finder opens and closes smoothly - the panel on the left hand side has a weak spring so I always close the right had panel first and then the left. Works fine and the magnifier opens and closes smoothly. Battery compartment is clean with no corrision and and battery test light works fine. I just ran a roll of film through it and all pictures were fine and the spacing was correct. Comes with front and rear body caps. Would make an excellent second body if you already have a Hasselblad system. comes with 42250 screen
$280.00US plus shipping plus PP fees

If I still had Hassy, I'd look at this -- I recall watching a short documentary on Platon, and IIRC he was using this camera to make portraits of world leaders at the UN. Often he only had a few minutes with these people!
Good camera, great price -- best of luck

Hi, is this camera still available? I would guess it is since the post. I'm still trying to learn more of these motorized models. Like I have seen that some ELX's are converted to 9volt.
Also some have other power mods as well. With your comment of having recently ran a roll of film is promising, and I am quite interested!
I plead my case of no experience in transaction procedures, so please provide instructions. This may be no big deal, but I'm located in Missouri, USA.
Thanks,
Tom
